About Chat & Craft

Chat & Craft is a monthly adult program offered by the Joplin Public Library where crafters can come together to work on projects and have fun.

We usually have a wide variety of crafts represented, and no two meetings are quite the same.

Please feel free to bring your own project to any of our meetings. Occasionally we offer an entry-level craft class with supplies provided by the library.

Interested? Come give Chat & Craft a try!

All JPL programs are open to everyone; a library card is not required to attend.

All crafts welcome!

Chat & Craft meets on the first Tuesday of each month.

Have a question about Chat & Craft?  Let us know!
